While standard DRR courses can be tailor-made to target specific area of interest, audio-based DRR courses are established courses that are offered through distance education. Standard DRR courses normally require meetings to discuss progress but audio-based DRR courses do not require physical presence on campus.

Audio-based courses are offered through the Institute of Theological Studies or by Tyndale Seminary professor Dr. Victor Shepherd.

All DRR courses adhere to the policies of the Academic Calendar and must be completed within one term.
